Okay, folks, let’s talk about this strawberry pie I tried to make. I saw this thing online about Shoney’s strawberry pie, and I thought, “Hey, I can do that!” It looked super simple, so I gave it a shot.
Getting Started
First off, I gathered all my stuff. The recipe said I only needed a few things: fresh strawberries, a pie crust, sugar, water, and some cornstarch. Sounds easy enough, right? I already had some of these things lying around, and grabbing the rest from the store was no big deal.
Prepping the Crust
So, I started with the pie crust. I just used one of those ready-made ones from the store – no shame in that game! I popped it into a pie dish, poked some holes in the bottom with a fork, and baked it for a bit until it was golden brown. I let it cool down before doing anything else.
Making the Filling
While the crust was cooling, I got to work on the strawberries. I washed them, cut off the tops, and sliced them up. Then I got a pot and mixed together the sugar, water, and cornstarch. I stirred that up on the stove until it got thick like syrup. It took a few minutes, but it wasn’t rocket science.
Putting It All Together
Once the syrup stuff was ready, I took it off the heat and mixed in the strawberries. I made sure they were all coated nicely. Then, I poured the whole mixture into the cooled pie crust. It looked pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Chilling Out
The hardest part was waiting for it to chill in the fridge. It needed to set for a few hours, so I had to find something else to do. Patience isn’t my strong suit, but it was worth it in the end.
The Taste Test
Finally, the moment of truth! I took the pie out of the fridge, cut a slice, and took a bite. It was pretty darn tasty! The strawberries were sweet and tangy, and the crust was nice and flaky. It definitely had that classic diner pie vibe.
Final Thoughts
All in all, making this Shoney’s strawberry pie was a success. It was way easier than I expected, and the results were delicious. I’d definitely make it again, maybe for a potluck or something. If you’re looking for a simple and tasty dessert, give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed!
- Tip 1: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Tip 2: Don’t overbake the crust, or it’ll be too hard.
- Tip 3: Make sure the filling is completely cooled before serving.
So there you have it, my adventure in pie-making. It was fun, and I ended up with a tasty treat. What more could you ask for? Until next time, happy baking!
